Nurse Rocks finally called me back at 4:53 yesterday afternoon. She said that the Dr. wants me to have an u/s to check for cysts. She's supposed to call me this morning with the appointment time for tomorrow. (yay...one man prodding in my mouth for an hour or so in the morning and another prodding at my girly bits that afternoon...and I'm not even getting a meal out of these dates!) It's supposed to be CD2 tomorrow, but AF may not be cooperating.
I was so excited that Nurse Rocks called back that I really forgot about asking any other questions. Like: If I have to have an u/s at the hospital Friday afternoon before I can get a prescription, when am I going to get the prescription? If today is CD1 (i hope i hope i hope) and the office is closed over the weekend, I wouldn't be able to get a script and get it filled until late CD5. That's no good. And do I need to get CD3 blood-work? Hello? Are you still there?
Hopefully they'll call me early this morning so I can get all of my questions answered today. If I'm going to do this, I need to know that things are at least planned to go smoothly.
***UPDATED***
Nurse Rocks called. I'm scheduled for tomorrow afternoon for my u/s to check for cysts. I'll call them back on Monday to make sure the u/s was clear and to get a prescription for Clomid. Let's hope tomorrow is CD1. If it isn't (if it's CD2 instead) then I won't get my Clomid until late CD5. WTF? If CD1 doesn't come in time, I'll have to reschedule the u/s.
She actually asked if I wanted to wait and schedule this for next month. Are you kidding me? What makes me think that they'll have their shit together next month? Dr. never mentioned anything to Nurse Rocks about any sort of blood-work, either. And it's no big deal to them if this doesn't get done in time to actually start the Clomid? WTFWTFWTFWTF!!!!???!?!?!
So this might happen this month. It might not.
I'm looking at other doctors, now. I can't do an RE, yet (insurance won't cover it and right now I need to start at the beginning, which insurance does cover). But I've found what look to be some really good doctors. At least that will keep my busy today so I don't sit and obsess about how frustrating my current office is.
Sigh.

Dr's .................
I am so glad that you are looking at new doctors. Bad doctors are so frusterating. Yesterday, I hung up on three different offices when I was looking for a doctor because they kept me on hold for too long.
Ug, that sounds so frustrating. Asking if you'd want to wait a month? Grrr.
That is so frustrating!
Have you thought about contacting a RE's office, telling them your situation, and seeing if they could direct you to an OB that has more experience with infertility? I know my RE's office has certain doctor's that they deal with regularly.
The logistics can be a total pain in the butt. Often at short notice. I hope you get it sorted out without having to put it off for another month,

I liked my OB GYN but used to get so frustrated with the logistics of scheduling things for the few months that I saw them on clomid. They just weren't set up for things. I was a lot more satisfied when I switched to my RE..I hope you get the answers you want and good luck!
i was on femara (similar to clomid) for almost a year and had to deal with some of the same frustrations. they would never call in my prescriptions till af arrived which often would fall on friday night or some nonsense which would leave me stuck till monday morning. also getting blood work and u/s done on certain days made for scheduling nightmares. it is all w0rth it though. lots of luck!
I hope it went ok for you! And that you had a good Easter. (If you celebrate it.)
xo
Good - glad you are looking into the switching to an RE.
This is my exact issue with obgyns. They are simply not setup for the type of monitoring you need on ANY drug (and yes, I totally thing montioring on clomid is necessary. All cycles start with a cd3 u/s. Period.)
My RE is open 7 days a week. Hell, I have an u/s and b/w at 8am on Easter Morning! But I'm glad that they are taking care of me and not having me wait even a day. They work to my cycle's schedule. My cycle does'nt have to work to their schedule. This is a huge blessing. I need an u/s? No problem. I come in on the day I need to.
Well, at least you are getting things done this cycle, even if you may switch docs. I'm really glad they are monitoring you. Good luck!
I hope your appointment went wonderfully and you were declared cyst free!!!
